CRS Reportable Persons

Regulations based on the OECD Common Reporting Standard (“CRS”) require Lead Capital Markets Ltd to collect and report certain information about account holders’ tax residences.

Each jurisdiction has its own rules for defining tax residence. In general, you will find that tax residence is the country/jurisdiction in which you live. Special circumstances may cause you to be resident elsewhere or resident in more than one country/jurisdiction at the same time (dual residency). If you are a U.S. citizen or tax resident under U.S. law, you will go through the Declaration here in the FATCA section of this policy.

If your tax residence (or the account holder, if you are completing the form on their behalf) is located outside U.S., we may be legally obliged to pass on the information in this form and other financial information with respect to your financial accounts, tothe tax authorities in Cyprus and they may exchange this information with tax authorities of another jurisdiction or jurisdictions pursuant to intergovernmental agreements to exchange financial account information.

As a financial institution, we are not allowed to give tax advice. Your tax adviser may be able to assist you in answering specific questions on this form. Your domestic tax authority can provide guidance regarding how to determine your tax status.

If a TIN is unavailable please provide the appropriate reason A, B or C where indicated below.

You can also find out more, including a list of jurisdictions that have signed agreements to automatically exchange information, along with details about the information being requested, on the OECD automatic exchange of information portal.
